If I could see through a childs eyes
I would see my grandpa's strong knees,
I would tug on grandma's apron strings
And play big girl, with the big people's car keys
I would see things at my eye level
Not like my daddy, cuz he's six feet tall,
Why do grownups place things up so high
I can't see my picture on the wall
All I see is those plug in thingies
And magazines on the woode coffee table,
Why don't these grownup's think of me
And put cool things where I am able
Outside I see some neat things
Like a Sunflower as tall as my door,
A hummingbird goin zoom, zoom, zoom
And a big snake, run, cuz he's bad
I can smell my great, great, great mimi's rosebush
That my Granma Roni dug a hole, put it in the ground,
Oh, the wonders at my height I can see
If you all would just let me look around

Nice write, these lines brought me memories of a video my mom showed me with me trying to unplug a a plug from the wall,
"All I see is those plug in thingies
And magazines on the woode coffee table,
Why don't these grownup's think of me
And put cool things where I am able"
thank you for entering and good luck =) -
This is such a great reminder to stop and think of our little ones. They like to see grown up stuff too. Thanks so much for posting this delightful piece in my contest.
